Chapter 754 The choice of the times
In the second half, Grant Hill changed his game.
Obviously, Greg Oden's approaching graduation forced the Grizzlies to make a change.
Grant Hill is likely to have to play the full second half, which is a test of his fitness and old parts.
As a result, the organization forward restrained his edge and focused on organization.
The protagonist of the game is Zhao Ke.
The Magic's side-ball defense completely aroused Zhao Ke's donkey temper——
Don't hold back, fight backwards!
In the third quarter, Zhao Ke once again took half of the team's shots and threw 10 three-pointers.
All using the same action——
Lean back · drift · jump shot!
Crazy running, under the endless cover of Conley, Hei Bei, and Battier, after Zhao Ke received the basketball, whether he faced McGrady alone or everyone else, his choice was the same!
Take off in an instant, throw yourself out, and drift backwards...
Zhao Ke injured his right hand, not his right foot.
His jumping is still as powerful as ever, and his stagnation in the air is simply hopeless!
When Zhao Ke floated up, even a muscular brain like Reggie Evans would not dare to make small movements.
Zhao Ke jumped so high, unless the referee was blind, how could he not see someone sneaking out his finger and poking Zhao Ke's armpit, or pinching Zhao Ke's arm?
Once discovered, Zhao Ke won three free throws without even shooting!
What's more, with Zhao Ke's pissing nature, he must not be satisfied with the three-point bonus question, he will definitely come up with a 3+1!
This is not worth the loss, and it is more reliable to surround and interfere.
In this way, Zhao Ke broke the magic gossip formation.
10 shots, hit seven three-pointers!
But the price is a bit high. Every time Zhao Ke makes a shot, he tries his best to jump high and float far away. He will never shoot until he reaches the limit of his body...
In this way, he has no time and strength to control his unbalanced body after shooting.
10 shots, 10 hard back landings.
This kind of unprotected landing, the spine completely bears the impact, and whether it is injured or not depends on the face and character.
What if Amway Stadium has bad Feng Shui today?
If the ball is passed, isn't it no different from being a victim!
Grant Hill didn't dare to pass the ball to Zhao Ke. There were nine attacks left, three for himself, two for Heibei, Battier, and Battier...
Without any offensive rebounds, the Grizzlies' offense is a gamble.
It's all a one-shot deal!
With such a big pear, the Memphis Grizzlies scored 31 points in the third quarter.
The teammates used the other half of the phone calls and contributed half of Zhao Ke's points——
The revolution has not yet succeeded.
Comrades still need to work hard!
Facing the Memphis Grizzlies of the Super Death Five, the Orlando Magic scored 51 points in a single quarter!
McGrady dunked 6 baskets in a row and directly exploded the Amway Stadium...
In addition, he made 3 of 3 three-pointers.
Relax, if you can't make a shot, it's a big deal to grab a rebound and come back again!
Yao Bi had 16 points, Milicic had 8 points, Nelson had 4 points, and even Reggie Evans had a dunk!
Trailing by 20 points in a single quarter, Oden gnawed off his nails in a hurry.
However, Rick Carlisle just wouldn't let him play, he was sure that this kid would have to be scourge to graduate in less than 1 minute!
Now, we can only pin our hopes on a certain guy.
With the current lineup of the Memphis Grizzlies, they can't defend, they can only attack!
In the fourth quarter, Oden replaced Grant Hill.
He received a wonderful task:
Do not participate in defense, do not participate in offense, try to live as long as possible...
Oden came to buy time off for Grant Hill, otherwise he was a decorative pillar.
Conley holds the ball, and his only target is Zhao Ke.
For the sake of the game, the Van Gundy brothers didn't need to emphasize that the Magic team consciously threw a "Box-and-One" to Zhao Ke.
Come on, come on, come to the bowl!
The whole Grizzlies relay, even if it's hand-to-hand, must give the ball to Zhao Ke!
At the same time, except for Zhao Ke and Auden, the other three went berserk again, as if a large amount of dogmint had been poured into the orange-red sphere...
The three crazy dogs jointly contributed 12 steals in the limited 5 minutes!
It is a timely help, which is equivalent to giving the Grizzlies 5 more offensive opportunities than the Orlando Magic!
In the hands of Zhao Ke, this is 5 three-pointers!
Zhao Ke continued to throw himself into the air.
Even if it is "Box-and-One", it has nothing to do with this kind of back jumper like crossing the ocean——
Do you want to try building one?
Just try it!
Maddie actually tried one.
In the end, Zhao Ke forced himself to be slapped by McGrady on the wrist, and then gritted his teeth and made a move!
A 3+1 was born...
Zhao Ke played very alone in this quarter, even when Grant Hill played later, he was not relentless.
The Memphis Grizzlies have four players make the ball for one.
On the opposite side, five people from the Orlando Magic chased and intercepted Zhao Ke alone.
Not crazy, not live!
He took all 25 of the team's shots, hit 18 three-pointers, and got 7 free throws.
61 points in a single quarter, this is the report card given by Zhao Ke!
Faced with such a high score, the Orlando Magic, which leads by 20 points, must score more than 41 points to kill the Grizzlies, or drag the game into overtime...
However, they didn't make it!
Rick Carlisle is so mean, he actually arranged the "cut Reggie Evans" tactic from the beginning of the fourth quarter.
However, in terms of execution, the Grizzlies adopted flower arrangements.
They cut not concentrated, and not deliberate!
Until halfway through the fourth quarter, when Stan Van Gundy found out, Reggie Evans had already made 8 of 3 free throws, wasting the Orlando Magic's precious four offensive opportunities...
Excluding the ones wasted by Reggie Evans and intercepted by Crazy Wang, under the crazy pressure of the Grizzlies, the Orlando Magic only took 17 shots in the fourth quarter!
Of course, if all hits, and all three-pointers, they can still score 51 points.
However, this is the theoretical upper limit of scoring.
In fact, the Orlando Magic team made 7 three-pointers and only hit 1.
The Grizzlies' defense from beyond the arc is insane --
The Grizzlies would rather foul Yao Bi than let McGrady shoot a three-pointer!
You are welcome to dunk, but you want to shoot a three-pointer, no way!
With 10 shots remaining, they hit 8 two-pointers.
There were 18 free throws and 11 hits. The Orlando Magic scored a total of 30 points...
Without reaching the passing line of 41 points, the Orlando Magic lost!
Rather than saying that they lost to Zhao Ke, it would be better to say that they lost to the Grizzlies scoring method——
Three point shot!
Even if the Orlando Magic played the ultimate combination of inside and outside of traditional basketball this season, they have no way to resist such a large number of three-pointers...
The era of great centers and swingmen is over, and a new era is about to emerge.
This is the choice of the times——
The call of the small ball era!
